Howie Manderly Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 We know Varys and Baelish are among the more cunning in Westeros but who are the standouts for Essos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernshe-wolf Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Maybe Illyrio... but then again, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atropis the Elf Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 How about the Green Grace? Though I'd use the word cunning, not clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie Manderly Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 I'd also say Illyrio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woman of War Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Most clever and cunning........mmmmh - illyrio if we do not count Tyrion who is not EssosiBut the most intelligent character who easily might become politically savvy is no doubt Missandei.

Mad Monkey Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 That widow by the waterfront sounds like she knows what she's doing.The people of Braavos seem to be very insightful and self-assured, including the Faceless Men and the bankers of the Iron Bank.

The Holy Goat Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Illyrio Mopatis is a clever and cunning man, it seems. Not on the same level as Petyr Baelish, Tywin Lannister or Tyrion Lannister perhaps, but still one of the smartest in the series. The Shavepate and the Green Grace both seem to possess a slimy cunning, and some others seem to be fairly intelligent.The most intelligent Essosi would obviously be Varys though (originally from Lys I think, though nothing is ever certain about him).Missandei could grow up to be very intelligent and cunning, but she's originally from Sothoryos I think.

King Tam Stark Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Illyrio Mopatis surely can't be that clever if every plan he has made has had to be changed, even the sellswords bad mouth him, my vote would possibly be the green grace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin the Mighty Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Tyrion is in essos right now, but what about the ruler of the IB or of the faceless man.... Bravoss is the strongest free city (Volantis might be contender). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicer Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Is Littlefinger all that clever? Most of his plans depend on luck and everything works out just right for him. I don't think he's all that great. He's lucky that Tyrion never confronted him about the dagger, or that Ned agreed to become Hand of the King or that Robert would go hunting and get killed by a boar. The bad guys have a lot of luck in this series.Varys and Illyrio on the other hand seem to be into long term planning and more careful machinations. I would put them above LF.Tyrion and Missandei are very intelligent and I would put them at the top of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Titan's Legitimate Son Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Voqarro's Whore, Illyrio Mopatis, the Shavepate, the Green Grace *cough* Harpy *cough* and probably Tyrion because he is in Essos now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northbound Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Hell, now that Tyrion is there; I don't think its any contest. That's assuming, he is done with his pity party! After that Illyrio and the Green Grace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
